February Mix

I made a quick and dirty mix tonight, comprised of a handful of songs I’ve really been enjoying lately. A couple of them are old (and the Steve Young is real old), and a couple are upcoming. I highly recommend the No Kids and Wildbirds & Peacedrums tunes, they’re incredible.

01 Steve Young: That’s How Strong My Love Is
02 Tre Orsi: The Illustrator
03 No Kids: The Beaches Are Closed
04 Burywood: Artificial Expansion
05 Clark: Truncation Horn
06 Guillemots: Kriss Kross
07: Leatherbag: On Down the Line
08: Mark David Ashworth: Elevator, Battle, Distance
09: My Two Toms: I Was at School
10: Wildbirds & Peacedrums: Pony

Tre Orsi is a great newish Denton band with a indie-famous lineage, Burywood and Leatherbag are both from Austin (though unfortunately named) and are fantastic. Burywood is straight up folk pop, and Leatherbag channels a bit of Lou Reed and a bit of Elvis Costello to great end. Mark David Ashworth used to live in Texas, and is on Autobus records (local label with Bill Baird, Brazos, Weird Weeds, etc.). I don’t remember where I found that My Two Toms song, but it makes me happy whenever I hear it. I am very excited about both the Clark and the Guillemots new albums … patience. I hope you enjoy!
